“…Because of sufficient stability properties in hybrid block methods as a result of fixed step discretization, ability to use smaller step-sizes for approximations without error growth resulting from perturbation, they have been widely used for solving third order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) (see, Duromola (2019Duromola ( ), modebei et al, (2021, Haweel et al, (2021), Lawal et al, (2018), Aigbiremhon et al, (2021) and Obarhua & Kayode (2016), among others. Also, hybrid numerical methods have been used for the approximations of higher order ODEs (see, Abolarin et al, (2020) and Areo & Omole (2015)) and results from their applications showed improved absolute errors. Similarly, adaptive polynomial method was formulated and implemented on linear, non-linear and a thin film flow problem and compared with some other hybrid block methods (see, Momoniat andMahomed (2010), Mecheel et al, (2013) and Yap et al, (2014)).…”
